Dupioni silk; the irregular, crosswise ribs of dupioni are formed by filling yarns that have occasional soft, thick lumps. The lumps, or slubs, add texture and visual interest to the fabric.
Dupioni silk is ideal for a range of custom projects. The light hand of the fabric and distinctive shimmer lends itself to wedding gowns and bridesmaids’ dresses. The range of unusual colors and drape of the fabric makes it ideal for interior designers working on custom window treatments and upholstered pieces. Dressmakers, set designers and costumers will find the textile perfect for bridal gowns and bridesmaid dresses, as well as medieval and renaissance costumes.
